Investigation into illegal activity at Larnaca apartment
Overview
Authorities in Larnaca are investigating allegations of illegal activity and hazardous conditions at the Filanda building, a large residential complex consisting of five blocks and 150 apartments. The management committee reported various violations, including the unauthorized exploitation of units for income, fraudulent rental agreements, and the illegal connection of water and electricity. Officials described the site as experiencing “chaos,” noting severe hygiene issues and dangerous building conditions.
Following a joint inspection by the Cyprus Police, the Electricity Authority of Cyprus (EAC), and local administration, investigators discovered interventions involving the removal of fuses. While police spokesperson Vyronas Vyronos stated it was not yet clearly established if electricity theft had occurred, meters were sealed and locked as the investigation continues. Regarding other claims, such as threats against management and the unauthorized operation of a kindergarten on the premises, police noted they have not yet received official complaints or legal correspondence.
